Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 12, 1905.

Application filed February 2'7, 1905. Serial No. 247,580.

To all whom, it Hwy concern.-

Be it known that I, HERMANN HANsEN,a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Casing for Pulleys, &c., of which the following is a specification, the same being a full, clear. and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to devicesas casings for pulleys, sheaves, &c.designed to protect and sustain in working relation the said pulleys, and in. particular to a face-plate whereby the said sheave or pulley and its casing may be readily and quickly applied to any support therefor in the desired operative position; and it has for its object the provision of an improved article of the kind set forth simple in construction, inexpensive to manufacture. and efficient in practical use.

WVitli this object in view the invention consists in certain novel features of construction and combination and arrangement of parts, all of which will be hereinafter described and specifically pointed out in the drawings which accompany and form a part of this specification, and in which- Figures 1 and 5 represent sideelevations of pulleys and casings therefor in which this invention is embodied. Figs. 2 and 6 are front elevations of the same. Fig. 3 is a view,partly in section, of the various parts of the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, the "said parts being located a little distance apart from each other; and Fig. 4 is a plan view of the casing shown in Fig. 1.

Like letters of reference indicate like parts in all the views.

Referring particularly to the drawings. A and A denote the two members of a casing embodying my invention and in which the meeting edges of the same are curved in toward each other, which members are constructed and arranged to contain and support the pulley B and are held together by any suitable means, preferably by a rivet O, which also may serve as an axis for the said pulley.

In the preferred form shown in the drawings, the front edge of the casing is constructed so as to lie parallel with the rear edge of the same; but, if desired, the construction and form ofthe casing may be changed, especially in cases where the face-plate is to be used with locks, &c. Each member of the casing is formed with slots 0 and transverse orifices 6 the said slots and transverse orifices of each member being oppositely disposed on the upper and lower parts of the casing, the said slots and orifices being ordinarily located near or adjacent to the front edge or face of the said casing. The face plate proper consists of two similarly-formed sections or plates D, each ordinarily having suitable sustaining or fastening means, as screw-holes d, and also on each edge thereof an indentation or recess 6Z3, forming an adjacent projecting stop d at the lower edge of the same.

In operation at the time the two members A A are assembled the stops (Z are entered into the slots 6 and the sides of the plates D are entered into the transverse orifices 0 the recesses d" allowing the plates D to pass a suflicient distance into the curved closed stop and bottom portions of the casing in order that the side edges of the said face-plates will be practically flush with the side face of the casing. locked with the members A and A of the casing and are rigidly held in operative position when the two members of the casing are fastened together.

What I claim as my invention is A casing composed of two members, the meeting ends of the same being curved over toward each other and having engaging means consisting of slots and transverse orifices located at the top and bottom portions of the same and near the front edge thereof, in combination with a face-plate consisting of two sections each formed with recesses and adjacent projecting portions or stops, and constructed and arranged to be engaged with the said two members at the top and bottom portions of the same.

' In testimony of the foregoing specification I do hereby sign the same. in the city of New Yorl ,county and State of New York, this lelth day of February, 1905.
